Summary/Abstract: Portable braziers were used for cooking and heating food. Hellenistic braziers are distinguished by a rich relief decoration placed on the lugs for holding a pot with food. The collection from Athribis presented in this paper consists of nine decorated lugs, one decorated ventilation opening, and one complete brazier, discovered during the work of the Polish-Egyptian mission in well-stratified layers.
